Statement leaves Newco exposed

446

Newco’s statement on their management team is worthy of some consideration:

“At a meeting with the management team’s representative earlier this week the Club were advised that Mr Warburton, Mr Weir and Mr McParland wished to resign their positions and leave the Club on condition that Rangers agreed to waive its rights to substantial compensation.”

A meeting with a representative of the management team, not with the manager, and not a resignation letter.

The club went on: “The Board urgently convened to consider the offer made on behalf of the management team and its ramifications and agreed to accept it and release the trio from the burden of compensation”.

If you agree to the terms of an offer made on behalf of someone, you really, really, need to get the signature of the individuals concerned. If you fail to get an agreement signed, you don’t have an agreement. If you don’t even appear to have a verbal agreement with your members of staff, you get on with your work as though nothing has happened.

They’d better hope Warburton, Weir and McParland get another job quickly, otherwise I predict another raft of court cases to be paid for.  This is a statement which suggests the authors have left themselves exposed.

  6. Paul67,

     

     

    Just read the blog. I have already this morning listened to Roddy Forsyth and Derek Johnstone talk lengthily about the situation over in Govan. You are the only one who has expressed what I thought was blatantly obvious: unless the company/club have a signed agreement. they can’t simply dismiss their employees. Surely, they aren’t that incompetent. Maybe, I give them too much credit or their predicament is dire.

  7. Morning all

     

     

    Weird dream about going to see us play in Alloa with a friend from Allos, dodgy refereeing , dancing with two dames from Castlemilk at half time to Kinky Afro. Not as weird as events at Edmiston Drive.

     

     

    Reallty looking forwad to the game today. Love watching this team

     

     

    Goid luck to Rubicon III today

  12. Snowy here in darkest Lanarkshire, after last nights feast of Rangers Rolling ( about the floor laughing) News ,we will be dining on scraps of rumour and hearsay for a few days. To hell with them, self inflicted wounds.

     

    Today is a busy one despite no Celtic Park, gym first to try a new regime, quick parents visit, Still Game matinee and then a relaxing meal in town. There will be drink and laughs and hopefully no ICT bad news from Celtic Park.

     

    Enjoy the day everyone, Hail! Hail!

  13. A wee cut and paste from a James Traynor article in the DR from June 2012

     

     

    Just for a laugh:-

     

     

    “NO more than a good John Greig clearance away from Hampden one of the world’s oldest clubs lies dying. And no one on Hampden’s sixth floor even bats an eyelid.

     

     

    No one up there in the offices of the SFA and SPL said a word.

     

     

    Rangers FC as we know them are dead. It’s all over. They are about to shut down for ever but not a single person among the game’s hierarchy was open for comment.

     

     

    And that just about sums it up for Rangers, the club the rest of the Scottish game came to detest.

     

     

    We are still waiting for the verdicts on EBT schemes and dual contracts but the fans of every other club have passed judgment. Rangers are guilty.

     

     

    Of course they are. They’re cheats and liars. Everybody knows that. They can’t help themselves, it’s in their DNA.

     

     

    And of course they must be stripped of their titles, trophies and dignity. Oh, and don’t forget those five stars above their badge, Get them torn off as well.

     

     

    It’s all madness rooted in jealousies and twisted logic. Rangers have a seriously bad lot but the majority of the people who support the club are decent.

     

     

    Yet everywhere so many people are waiting to dance on this club’s grave.

     

     

    Well, they should get their pumps and tap shoes tied up because it won’t be long now. Yesterday the CVA proposal put forward on behalf of Charles Green by administrators Duff and Phelps was rejected by HMRC.

     

     

    They didn’t even wait until tomorrow’s creditors’ meeting, although that will still go ahead.

     

     

    But Rangers FC won’t. They’ll slip into liquidation within the next couple of weeks with a new company emerging but 140 years of history, triumph and tears, will have ended.

     

     

    No matter how Charles Green attempts to dress it up, a newco equals a new club. When the CVA was thrown out Rangers as we know them died.

     

     

    They were closed and a newco must start from scratch although their fans will insist the history will be boxed up with the strips and balls and carried into the future with the new club.

     

     

    Technically that history belongs to something else, some other company but even though the governing bodies appear consumed by technicalities and protocol supporters have other priorities.

     

     

    They strive for continuity and Rangers fans will never be separated from or denied their past.

     

     

    The name might change slightly, there will be a new owner, new players and a new beginning. But somehow nothing will have changed for many of the people who buy the tickets.

     

     

    They’ll never forget and they’ll remember yesterday, too. Even though they and everyone else knew the decision to accept or reject Green’s CVA was 50-50 this was such a momentous day in the history of Scottish football.

     

     

    Yet, unbelievably neither the SPL nor the SFA had anything to say as Rangers’ death warrant was signed.

     

     

    Maybe they were bored, or maybe even stupefied by the twists and turns, outlandish demands and hopes, claims and counter claims which started in May last year and then began clattering down relentlessly since February.

     

     

    With the noise and the clamour it has been difficult to make sense of it, to keep track and to understand the hatred and lack of compassion. It is almost scary that so many fans cannot see how damaging Rangers’ demise is to the game in general.

     

     

    Whether you like them or not they are important. Along with Celtic they are the engine that drives our game.

     

     

    But the dislike hasn’t been confined to the cheap seats. Other directors and chairmen have also relished watching Rangers fail and then fall.

     

     

    Yet they should have known better and despite the voices of reason saying be careful what you wish for those clubs who have sounded off about sporting integrity will now have to be true to their own word.

     

     

    If they have been listening to their fans, as a number of them claim, then they won’t allow a newco into the SPL.

     

     

    But let’s just see if, when the time comes to vote, enough of them keep their hands down when asked if they want a reformed Rangers back in.

     

     

    And they’ll have to do this quickly because fans will need to know which teams will be in which divisions before buying season tickets. The SPL and SFL will produce their fixtures on Monday and although Rangers will be found in the top-flight schedule it remains to be seen if they’ll actually be playing there.

     

     

    But can the SPL do without Rangers and their supporters? They may have been suggesting they can but it will not prosper without Rangers and this is what all the chairmen, despite their bravado, will have to consider.

     

     

    It was easy, and also foolish, to be bold when Duff and Phelps suggested HMRC had hinted they might accept the CVA but now the moment of truth has arrived for these clubs. And what will force the issue? Pressure from fans or pressure from banks?

     

     

    Of course, they could let them back in while insisting the new club has to accept penalties for the behaviour of the old, especially if the SPL enquiry finds Rangers guilty of issuing players dual contracts with their EBTs.

     

     

    Also, the SFA have still to work out what sanction to impose on the current Rangers who succeeded in getting a 12-month signing ban overturned in the Court of Session. The SFA will demand the new sanction be inherited by the newco but it seems to me more than a few on one side of this saga are in danger of becoming a little vindictive.

     

     

    Of course Rangers are guilty of shaming the game and they accept they have to be punished. But how many more times must they be kicked?

     

     

    Despite the baying mob and their crazy notion that Rangers should be shunned because they are cheats the fact is this club and these fans have themselves been cheated. If there is anything in their DNA make up that’s irrational or wrong it is their love of their club and this game.

     

     

    Get over the mock outrage and come down from the moral high ground.

     

     

    Few fans of any club have any right to be up there in any case but now, as Scottish football arrives at a crossroads let’s try to think straight. How about cutting Rangers some slack and doing the game a turn at the same time?”

    I don`t know what your strange Sevco related dream was last night but I had the same one.

     

    Time to leave for the Arbroath Emerald CSC bus departing at 9:15

     

    Cheerio for now,

  18. Massive skullduggery afoot over at the Crumbledome.

     

    My take on things is as follows…

     

     

    1.Sevco want rid of The Hat and his magic circle of friends.

     

     

    2. Warbiola’s agent scores an O.G by intimating he wants out for free.

     

     

    3. Jabba seizes upon this to announce his resignation , cobbles together a statement, rubbing his hands in glee at the thought of no compensation.

     

     

    4.Having the Notts F rug pulled from under him, Warbiola reacts saying he ain’t resigned .

     

     

    5. Jabba panics, realising he has no signature of resignation, pulls the statement from the website.

     

     

    6. Cue big court case and further ridicule.

     

     

     

    Meanwhile, I’m away to Planet Paradise in an hour to join the party

    Interesting read,that. Looks like Jabba had the oul’ same club idea worked out well in advance.

     

     

    Even if no-one thought it would fly,he did. And had the balls to force it through.

     

     

    We have a lot to be grateful for. It’s not every sequel that’s as funny as the original!

     

     

    Just arrived in that London,as CADIZZY might say.
